So.

Escavalier, Adamant, Assault Vest, (252 Attack, 252 Defense, 6 Sp.Defense)

-Same Typing as Scizor (One weakness  -4x resistant to Grass, 2x resistant to 8 types, immune to poison )

-405 Max Attack, basically stronger physically than scizor

-Astounding Bulk, a new Mega Gengar/Alakazam counter imo

-Good STAB Megahorn and Iron Head

-Good Knock Off Utility

-Will be able to learn drill run to scare all the fire type switch ins, but for now can learn Fell Stinger, which can help take care of the lack of swords dance, or pursuit which can trap and destroy psychic types.

-Solid Wallbreaker

-A monster in Trick Room

Pokemon it can take care of -

Mega Gengar, Mega Alakazam, Mostly any Psychic type, Probably any Fairy Type (lacking any Fire moves), Any grass type, Latios and Latias, Mega Diancie

Weaknesses:

Fire, get rid of fire, can be easily countered by the other 5 slots however.

Burns, though with good predicting skills, they wont like that theyre switching into knock off (You could even run Rawst berry just to be safe, though that gets rid of some of your special bulk)

Other Steel types, because until we can get drill run on it via move tutor, it cant do much except knock off, especially to the bulky ones like Mega Aggron and skarmory

Overall, i would rate this a B+ honestly
